About Us

Welcome!

Ink & Starstuff is a woman-owned stationery company based in Portland, Oregon. Every item in the shop leans toward the whimsical, cozy, and dream-like, with each collection curated to inspire creativity. Most of our stationery items are imported, while our canvas pencil cases and limited edition prints are handmade by owner-operator, Shana Targosz.

About Shana

Hello! I'm Shana Targosz, writer and dreamer. I'm an author of fantasy books, a linocut artist, and designer of Ghibli-esque solo RPG games which focus on exploration, magic, and nature.

I created Ink & Starstuff to inspire others to fall in love with stationery from around the world. Stationery has been a big part of my own creative journey and I always have various notebooks and pens within reach. I fell in love with Japanese stationery during my travels. I now use these special items daily to collect ideas and expand my own creative pursuits. The act of writing in a journal or doodling in a special notebook is a simple and effective way to collect memories and practice mindfulness. Having these physical artifacts documenting my mind-wanderings over the years brings so much joy.

Here at Ink & Starstuff we ask: Where will your imagination take you?

Our goal is for these journals, washi tapes, and other ephemera to spark creativity within you.

What is Ink & Starstuff?

Ink, for the things we commit to paper—hand-written words that build the stories we create, and sketches which evolve into works of art.

Starstuff, for the intangible, ever-shifting things—the magical place where ideas come from, and the origin of our wishes and dreams.

Thank you for stopping by!
